    Mar 15 2023

    When we keep attracting relationships that drain us or hold us back, it's because there is still unresolved trauma and anxiety is driving our decisions.

    This can be hard to hear, especially for those who've done a lot of work on themselves.  But there's a gift in this pattern, and if we can use this as a way to get motivated to finally heal it, you CAN have the relationhip you deserve.

    To help us transform residual trauma and anxiety so we can receive the healthy, supportive relationship we deserve, our guest-- anxiety expert and author Silvia Araya--shares her tips.

    We will discuss insights from her new book “Is this what you REALLY want? How to Go Beyond Trauma into the Relationship You Deserve”, including how to heal trauma, reduce anxiety and align yourself with the relationship you want.

    •  How to know yourself first, accept and love where you are, and exactly who you are….traumas and everything
    •  Have a better relationship with yourself
    •  How to better know what you don't and do want outside of your trauma.
    •  Don’t take anything less than what you REALLY want, because this is what you deserve.

  • Be Your Own Wing Person in Dating & Life
    Mar 6 2023

    If you're in a relationship or job that looks great on paper but feels out of alignment with your spirit, then you won't want to miss this episode!

    This week's guest, best-selling author and global retreat leader Cory Calvin, faced that same scenario.  After a successful 16-year finance and strategy career with global corporations, Cory left it all behind and reinvented himself to live the life that his spirit was calling for.  He tuned out the fearful warnings of people who thought he was crazy to make such a huge shift, but he listened to his heart and left his gilded cage. He became his own wing man, looking within for his truth and owning it!

    Now he's living his purpose as the creator of an ecosystem of transformational offerings--from retreats to books--to help people discover and achieve their dreams as soon as possible in life--and not when they retire or meet a partner.  He is the author of two best-selling books and a gratitude journal, leads inspirational and life-changing retreats around the globe, and mentors groups and individuals on personal and physical wellness.

    Cory plays and coaches competitive volleyball and is always finding ways to improve his holistic health - mind, body and soul. His home base is Florida, USA, but is most likely somewhere around the globe working on his goal of visiting every country.

    Feb 6 2023

     Unfortunately, the less empowered you are around money, the more likely you will keep attracting others with the same issue. Like dating, you want to woo your money instead of trying to control it or avoid it out of fear.
